What I Like About This Drink:

  • There’s just something about a PINK DRINK – it’s hard not to forget all your worries while enjoying it.
  • People often think drinks with fruit are too sweet. This one is well-balanced while featuring the deliciousness of fresh strawberries.
  • I love egg white drinks; they create such a smooth mouth feel. Even if the thought repulses you, I encourage you to try it at least once. If you still can’t stand the thought of raw eggs in your drink, you can use dry egg white powder dissolved in a bit of water or chickpea water.

  • The Clover Club, a classic pre-Prohibition cocktail from Philadelphia. Simply replace the strawberries with 4 or 5 raspberries.
